The other replied: "Yeah, but I still like to ride a luxury liner."

Of course, in that context, the girls were talking about whether bigger is better ;)

As far as I am concerned, I like the Hummer as it strikes a nice balance betweem comfort, luxury and what seems to be good off roading capability so far. When the V8 comes out, then it will be real fun :twisted:

LOL :P

Mozi,

Being a Land Rover fan it pains me to do this :oops: but.......... the H3 does seem rather good off-road. As you mention it also seems a nice balance of several different attributes. It's not what I would look for in a car but I do see why people do go for them.

Translation : the Bull has the meat while the poison is in the scorbion

explenation : The Bull is big and looks powerfull but, thats only bone, fat and flesh ( harmless)... while the scorbion is small in size but :twisted: DEADLY :twisted: . ( size dosent matter ) :lol:
Interesting saying!!

Have you ever seen a bull that was annoyed....... When a bull escaped from an abbatoir in a town near where my home in the UK is the police had to use a specialist weapon, designed and normally used for disabling vehicles by cracking the engine block 8O to stop it as a normal hand-gun would have just got it upset......... I.e., a bull isn't always 'only bone, fat and flesh ( harmless)'.

Presume 'just' as in since the 22nd Feb?? I wish I could get stuff done at garages that quickly here! :lol:
desertfalc0n wrote:but I have seen them do stuff without the modifications.. And beleive me no H3 (stock or modified) can do the same.
It's interesting how your views are completely opposite to what we've witnessed here.

The Wrangler which didn't fare too well on our last trip is coming again this Friday. As mentioned the driver is keen & experienced so I think we can discount 'operator-error' as the cause for its woeful performance the other day. I'll let you know how he fares this Friday, wether good, bad or indifferent. I dont / wont / wouldn't have either a Jeep or Hummer so dont care which one 'wins'.

Thanks for the info JustforFun, I know what stock means...
Qouting above tidied up a little by Richard

It's just occurred to me that on that criteria my 90, 127, Discovery & Freelander (110 preperation was contracted-out by LR) can be classed as 100% stock, that could make for an interesting 'which is better' debate 8O :lol:

we need a "this thread sux" smiley ...fo shizzle...but i wanna play too...
so here's my oh-so-fantastic-opinion..

H3's would be cool with a bigger engine&whats up with leaf springs at the back ? they get credit for being able to fit 285's stock.
H2's are cross-dressed chevy avalanches..for real..trashy-girl magnets though! sooo High fiiiiive! :D
H1's are slow as heck without the turbo diesel engine and can barely pull their own weight..civilian ones look a million years old inside after a few years...i'd like to slap on a supercharger on one of the old ones that came with the V8 petrol engines!
Stock wranglers look gay (no offence to the ppl i jst called homo's), pimped wranglers roll , old wranglers break...and all wranglers will eventually grow old...wait for it TJ owners... :twisted:

how about a lwb pajero vs discovery thread ? haha..that'd be a pajero vs recovery thread... get it ? get it ? :woo:
thank you..im here all week!

can ya tell i have exams in 12 hours..? :hit:

why we comparing hummer's and jeeps again?

Yes dear, I know that H3 is quite capable but the main credit to be given to Simon being an offroader for years and years...
